Overview

Chàchi Kànî Kâchyâ was founded durring the late 16th century in summer of the year 1464, by Thraaz. The establishment of Chàchi Kànî Kâchyâ was only bairly constructed. The sheer number of problems with its founding were enough to make several of the backers funding Chàchi Kànî Kâchyâ's construction back out of the project. Thraaz pushed on reguardles, and Chàchi Kànî Kâchyâ was finished, but starts off as a terible place to live.

Chàchi Kànî Kâchyâ was built using the conventions of Rattu durring the late 16th century. Naturaly, all settlmentss have their own look to them, and Chàchi Kànî Kâchyâ is no diffrent. The city's buildings feature waddle and daub construction with good timber frames and a stone foundation protected by thatched or shingled rooves. Most buildings with second floors are built in such a way as to overhang into the streets on the upper floors for more space, as building size seems to be the primary indicator of wealth within the community. Most buildings are not decorated with any integral features, but instead use ivy, flowers, and other natural elements in planters of on trellices to breathe life into the structure they grow upon.

Chàchi Kànî Kâchyâ is buildings are arranged arround a network of narrow split-log ties streets which form a diamond shaped grid, where each diamond verries in size given the proximity of the paralell streets forming each section. The ocasional smaller diamond has been used to construct a park, plaza, and other communal structures. The city sits comfortably behind a palisade wall complete with a timber gatehouse and battlments. Unfortuantly, these timber-based walls are in extreem disrepair, so much so that one cannot tell if they are decaying from a lack of mantance or damage incured.

Chàchi Kànî Kâchyâ has the unmistakable air of a city on its last legs. Everything is a bit slipshod and ramshackle. Everyone is at work, or drinking. No one has anything in their eyes other than fear and despair. Whatever industry once fueled Chàchi Kànî Kâchyâ ’s existence has dried up and the city is drifting down the stream of history as it dries up.

Cultural Notes

Chàchi Kànî Kâchyâ's garrison was built using a different architectural style from the rest of the town. The style used is best known for its functional shapes, abstract shapes used sparingly for decor, simple color schemes, holistic design, and basic industrial materials. Its simple designs were created to be beautiful, functional, and mass-producible. The style used little to no embellishment or ornamentation, instead drawing attention to the streamlined design, such as flat roofs to create a simple, geometric look. The simplicity masks the style's nearly sinister functionality, as every last feature is designed to guide the people living in the building in how to make the most efficient use of the structure.

The Ifrit near Chàchi Kànî Kâchyâ are known to be a mutant strain of the creature.

Chàchi Kànî Kâchyâ's citizens partake in a curious ritual relating to their local kami. It takes place in autumn and involves embarking on a group pilgrimage to channel Wild Magic energies of tier 2 via throat chanting.
